Hey all I am a Django lifer here and have built almost all of my previous platforms (at least the backend) with it. That said I now use Cursor a ton and find it hugely lacking when it comes to Django / python. Anyone found something they like or have some good options?
Not sure if this is the best place for this but have been trying to find some thoughts here.
I don’t know how to properly answer your question, because I don’t quite understood what you’re trying to say. You’re saying that you’ve been using Django for a while, but is struggling to find a AI assistant to help on something that you already know?
I’m not trying to solve a specific django problem right now, no. Rather, I’m trying to find out if there are any good Django-specific AI code assist tools that people use. Particularly because I tend to code Django/Python in Pycharm and not VScode so I can’t use Cursor.
As such I don’t get all the benefits that come with that like multi-line code suggestions, tab to jump, etc.
I was in the same boat and just bit the bullet and switched to Cursor. It was a few painful days getting used to it, then a long tail of little stuff to learn, but has definitely been worth it. Now I feel equally comfortable in both and use Cursor as my primary IDE and PyCharm only for specific things that don’t work well in VSCode. I recommend just making the leap, forcing yourself to use it for a week straight, and you’ll be caught up enough to not want to go back.
